Which is the better way to go on the BDS 6" lift with Bilsteins 3"coil with a lower setting on the Bilsteins or 5" coil with Bilsteins maxed. I want the truck as level as possible Factory rake is 2.5 inches.

I installed the 5" coils in the rear and 2.1 bilsteins and have about 1.25" of rake still. May crank it up maxed to get rid of that but with the rake i have, pulling my trailer is next near level. And i all depends on the rake in your set up. Seems to be every tuck is a bit different though.

I think its a little easier to get closest to level with the 3'' rear. Here is a picture of a 6'' Zone with 3'' rear coils and no Bilsteins.
But if you tow, Raydenn's method is the best.

I think an inch or so of rake is not a bad thing especially whe you are loaded up in the bed, just don't want more than an inch or so.
